 There are several fashion enpoIIums in New York which send out yOung men us advance fashion platss. They prom ensde Broadway and Fifth Avenue, lunch at the Brunswick, and look at the pictures in ;hs Hoffman House bar room, where rich and Eould-be stylish young men do congregate. They are known for just what they are by large set of patrons and admirers, and n this way do paying work for theIr houses.

This disgust Is SO universal that many that many ladies who have spent week knitting these warm and certsinly very pretty vests, declare they will never vastea ny more time ID such work.
